The Singapore office will also be the company’s new principal executive office.
“The decision is intended to promote the company’s current strategic global expansion plans and streamline the operational efficiency of the company; the decision is also supported by the fact that Singaporean clients already account for a substantial and growing proportion of the company’s total client base,” reads the statement.
Eng Thiam Choon, CEO of Tiger Brokers (Singapore) says, “Our strong growth and credibility in Singapore has placed us in a great position for internalisation as more and more people are evidently choosing to include trading and investments as part of their wealth growth plan.”
